"You always have us, too. My personal "perfect" age is 4-6 months old. They are still babies, but able to learn, they have had some socialization (hopefully) and are sane enough to be able to understand. But regardless of age, dogs have the…"

Bill Keegan replied to Krista's discussion How do you know?"Krista - any dog you get will need training. Either in a class situation or a home trainer - that IMHO is mandatory for every doodle! Especially since you have young children. Are you use that with toddler twins, you have the time for training? If…"

How do you know?
Hello all, Not everyone will recognize me but I have been knocking around here for awhile from time to time. My family have been looking for a smallish medium size doodle for atleast a year. We are in Central IL and have twin boys 3.5yrs old. We are also technically first time dog owners. So.. we have been searching here there and everywhere. I only feel comfortable looking within driving distance because all too many times we go to meet these dogs and they are NOT what was listed. They…See More

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - Thanks you, Krista. I got them all up this morning. I started a new group called RRC Volunteers, you should come join that. I put one discussion in there about how to post the dogs in the listings.
It is a tough week and I really appreciate all your love and support.

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - First of all...Back off My Doodles!!! I would kill for any one of them. They are so much my life I cannot imagine my life without each of them...even the Chi-doodle. LOL
You know I have told you before that your perfect Dood is out there and you will find each other. Yes, keep trying. You know...doing the listings would put you on the front lines of the dogs being posted. HINT...HINT! LOL

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - Where's the link on the OH puppies? On here? Hard to tell if they are scammers without seeing their website. My fingers and paws are still crossed, you really need a doodle.

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - Fingers and paws are crossed for you. How far are they from you? Did you mention you volunteer to do the listings here? I am so excited for you. Good Luck.

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - 1) I just friended the rescue head, but you should send an email on Janie. Mention you are a lister for OodlesofDoodles.org and fell in love. Ask if they can transport to where you are. Don't wait, she will go fast.
2) I would love to have you onboard with us. Work as much or as little as you can. Let me know when you are ready. Weekends, I have tons of time...just let me know.
3) SHE won't be happy, no matter what I do. Plus, when I first brought the site back up, I asked the members for advice. I gave them the opportunity to leave, and offered to help them delete their stuff. Many people sent me notes about a pattern with HER of experiences they had with her and over 1300 stayed. I send out the Weekly newsletter, so no-one can say they don't know what is going on. I try to be open with people and SHE likes to be in charge. The core of us talked about it a lot in the beginning and decided to do our own thing. SHE doesn't scare me, as I have copies of everything, well, my lawyer does. I do have a Harassment case but as far as I am concerned, SHE is cutting her own throat. We are doing good and we are getting noticed for it. Never fear someone like HER. SHE is HER own worst enemy.
So, if you want me to stop now...it's too late. SHE can't hurt us. HER lies are being seen by many. We are moving forward and SHE can kiss our dust. LOL Love you and let me know when you are ready. Email about Janie. <3 U

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - I hope all is well with the kids, now. That is scary when our children are sick. Mine, Thankfully, only had one stint in the hospital as kids and I know how much that scared us. I send you hugs of strength to get through all that.
Did you get to check the Whoodle today? I so wish for a dog for you and your family. I know I could never live my life without a dog (or two or three). Your doggie is out there, I hope he finds you soon.
I am STILL being harassed by my ex-partner. You would think six months would be cause enough for her to move on and leave us alone. But I suppose some people can't let other people be happy if they are not. Her loss. We have some exciting news coming very soon and I hope you know you are part of our little family here...always. I will never forget how you stood up for me when you were approached by THEM. Some are still here, maybe they will see what a real "collective" looks like. LOL Keep in touch, kiddo and don't be a stranger. Sending hugs and hopes for you and yours.

AdminLynne Fowler - Admin said… - Awh, I know what twin little one's are like. And I was involved with my local twins club when mine were young. I was the Librarian for the club for a couple years. That is important work you're doing and we completely understand. We still want to keep you around and hope you will stay with us.
As far as hubby, mine has grouched through all 5 dogs but loves every one. They come around once they see those eyes. Your prefect doodle is out there and coming, you just have to be open to the right time. You have put your desires to have that doodle into the universe and he or she will be there when you look. You are always welcome here no matter what.
You are the first new member to join us after the break up and you didn't believe the lies and slander against me. I will never forget that. Many people who were my friends for years believed it and left. The many who did not leave and those friends like Deb, Sue, Susan and Jeannine, who stayed with me and YOU will always be very important to me. You all gave me the strength to do this and we are building something really good here that no-one can lie about.
You do as much or as little as you can, just check in once in awhile to say HI and let us know you're OK. We can talk about kids too you know...or husbands. LOL We can start a complain about the spouse discussion in the Coffee House and figure out how to convince them that a Doodle is what THEY really need. Sending hugs!
